The U.S. Department of Justice reported that a federal jury has convicted four alleged members and an associate of the violent white supremacist gang the 1488s for the 2017 murder of Michael Staton in Alaska, and several other charges.
that the convictions stem from Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations charges brought against the five men who — according to evidence presented during the trial — kidnapped two people in 2017 and murdered Staton. The Department of Justice described the 1488s as “a violent prison-based gang operating inside and outside of state prisons throughout Alaska.
“The guilty verdicts today strike a significant blow to the highest levels of the 1488 gang,” said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite Jr. in the press release. “The Department of Justice and our law enforcement partners remain committed to combating and dismantling violent white supremacist gangs.”
The release states that Fuhrer became displeased with gang members outside of prisons in the “free world” and directed another member to kidnap and assault two low-level gang members. Evidence presented during the trial said that the kidnapping and assault occurred on April 2, 2017 and July 20, 2017.
